There are jaywalking laws where you can be stopped for crossing against the light, against the right of way in general, etc. Not sure what the slur is. I think Jay used to be a mild insult?

I saw a cartoon on here once with an out-of-towner complaining about all the horse-carriages in this "Jay town" but I can't find it.

Jay used to mean country folk. Jaywalking was walking on city roads like it was the country, because city roads are for cars where country roads had little, horse powered, transport
